people always tell me i am not fat at all i am on the super skinny side and in the last week i have found a couple stretch marks where my hamstring is on the back of my leg. i work out A LOT and i have noticed i can do more weights for my hamstings. now that i have a bigger muscle, is that why i have STRETCH MARKS :(
Answer:
If your size changes rapidly (gain weight, bigger muscles, get taller, etc), then your skin doesn't have time to keep up. That's what causes the stretch marks. The good news is, if the marks are still red (haven't turned white yet), there's hope to minimize the scarring. Try cocoa butter. Rub it on the area where the stretch marks are and any other areas that you are building muscle (sort of a preemptive strike). Another option is go to a pharmacy and look for creams for pregnant women that reduce stretch marks. These are probably the most potent ones you can get. If they've turned white already, you're SOL (sorry!), but try to minimize in future areas.
